Former Arizona Catcher Daniel Susac’s Flawless MLB Debut Sparks Buzz—Could He Be Baseball’s Next Big Star?

Susac’s college years with Arizona were nothing short of stellar—Pac-12 Freshman of the Year in 2021, College World Series contender, All-American accolades, and Golden Spikes Award nods along the way. Over 125 games, he crushed a .351 batting average with 24 home runs and 126 RBIs. The kid’s got a bat that speaks for itself.

Daniel Susac had to wait four seasons to get to the majors, then another six games just to make his big league debut. All that patience paid off on Thursday night.

The former Arizona Wildcats catcher went 3 for 3 with a walk in his first career start, helping his hometown San Francisco Giants beat the New York Mets 7-2. He became the first Giants player to reach base four times in his first start since 2006.

The 24-year-old Susac, who made his MLB debut as a defensive replacement on Wednesday, wasted no time in his first plate appearance, sending a first-pitch curve ball into right-center field for a single. He singled through the left side of the infield on the next pitch he saw, then drew a 4-pitch walk in his third at-bat and singled up the middle to end the evening.
